Such data log files are used solely for the purpose of analysis, development and improvement of individual functions within the Application with the aim to make the Application more appealing to users.

Any such collection of data log files shall be clearly disclosed within the description of the Application on the market and an implied but informed consent shall be deemed to be given to us by downloading and using the Application.

Our Use of Cookies and Related TechnologiesThe Applications, the Website, advertisements, and other online services may use UDIDs, cookies and other tracking technologies such as, but not limited to, pixel tags, tracking pixels and web beacons. These technologies are used for a variety of purposes related to our delivery of content and advertising to you, including:

- Enabling us to control the number of times you see a given ad;- Enabling us to deliver ads that relate to your interests;- Helping us better understand user behavior, such as how people interact with our Applications and which parts of our Website people have visited;- Facilitating and measuring the effectiveness of advertisements displayed on the Applications or the Website;- Allowing us to monitor Application activity, including, traffic, statistics, clicks on advertisements and/or other activities on the Applications; and- Compiling anonymous statistics about users of the Applications and visitors to the Website.

We treat information collected through our use of tracking technologies as non-personal information and store it in log files. However, to the extent that UDIDs, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information.

We generally do not combine or connect non-personal information with personal information, unless such connection is necessary to provide services to you. To the extent that your non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

Our Use of InformationWe use information we collect about you or your computing device to deliver services to you and to operate our business. Such uses may include:

- Developing, delivering and improving our products, services, content and advertising;- Tailoring products, services and advertisements to your interests;- Keeping you posted on smuttlewerk interactive?s latest product announcements and software updates;- Improving our services and content;- Understanding and analyzing trends in connection with usage of the Applications and the Website;- Administering the Applications and the Website;- Learning about user behavior within the Applications; and- Gathering broad demographic information about our user base.

From time to time, we may use your personally identifiable information to send important notices to you, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions and policies. We may also use your information, including personally identifiable information, for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis and research to improve our products, services and customer communications.

Disclosure to Third PartiesWe cannot provide all services needed for successful operation of the Applications or the Website by ourselves. Therefore we must share collected information with third parties, including third-party advertising companies that assist us in delivering advertising to you that allows us to continue offering the Applications for free or at a low cost.

We have therefore contracted with certain third-party advertising networks such as Apple (iAds), Google (AdMob), InMobi, MobClix, Millennial Media and TapJoy; statistical services providers such as Apsalar and Flurry; and other third-party service providers that support the Applications and the Website (collectively, "Partners"). Our Partners provide services such as advertising, marketing, hosting, information processing, order fulfillment, product delivery, customer data management and enhancement, statistical analysis, customer service, recommendations, customer research and analysis, satisfaction surveys and customer profiling. We may contract with additional Partners or change existing Partners in the future to perform any services in connection with the Applications or the Website.

We may share information (including personally identifiable information) that we have collected with our Partners. We may share information that can be used to personally identify you (e.g., your name, email address, phone number, or physical address) to Partners for the purpose of improving our products, services and advertising.

In addition, Partners may use their own tracking technologies (including without limitation cookies, Web beacons, HTTP cache, and local shared objects) to compile anonymous information about users of the Applications and visitors to the Website. Partners may share anonymous information that they collect with their clients, including the date and time a banner ad was shown, the specific ad shown, and the IP address or UDID of the computing device where the ad was displayed.

Unlike the tracking technologies used by us in content we control on the Website and in the Applications, we do not control or have access to the information collected by our Partners using their own tracking technologies. Their information gathering practices, including their policies regarding the use of cookies, Web beacons, and other tracking technologies, are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

We reserve the right to disclose your information (including personally identifiable information) in response to law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or to protect our operations, users or user experience. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger or sale we may transfer any and all information (including personally identifiable information) we collect to the relevant third party.

Some of the Applications allow you to submit content generated in or by the Applications to third-party sites like Facebook and YouTube. These submissions follow the data transfer protocols for such third parties, which are designed to enable content sharing with such third parties and generally prevent any storage of information necessary for access to such third party services by us. In addition, we may receive certain information (which may include your personally identifiable information) from such third parties through the use of Application Programming Interfaces provided by such third parties. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies and end user agreements, and we are not responsible for, and have no control over, the sharing practices or policies of the third parties that operate those sites.

Protection of Personal InformationWe have implemented reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality of personal information that we receive from you. Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that your data remains secure when maintained by us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

You can access, check and ensure the integrity of your information as described below. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

You can also request that we correct or delete data, provided that we are not required to retain such data by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Access, correction or deletion requests can be made through the smuttlewerk interactive website.

ChildrenOur products and services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information of a child under 13, we will take all reasonable steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us.

For example, the Applications may feature offers from third-party advertisers or the ability to engage in transactions with such entities. Please note that while using such third-party offerings, you are using sites, products, and services developed and administered by people or companies not affiliated with or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the actions of those people or companies, the content of their sites, products or services, the use of information you provide to them, or any products or services they may offer.
